Hi Everyone,
New member here and first time picker. I have spent some time researching where and when and what they look like but for extra reassurance I wondered if anyone was able to confirm what these are and if they are edible?
habitat all found in field where horses graze plenty of horse manure in field. grass/soil damp and soft under feet... East Sussex..
caps and step beige and gills purplish in colour.
this picture we seperated as we are not sure on them being liberty caps as lack nipple of different colour?

these we believe are ok. can anyone verify?
 close ups



thanks!!
realised probably not enough to give proper ID so I have taken a few more pics of the gills.. they look darker now as they have been drying out for 6hrs plus now. When picking them the gills looked purplish in colour. these pics after 6hrs of drying...
from one we are not sure about: and the others:


drying...

I'm trying to take a spore print off one of the caps not sure if this will work now they are drying out???

The ones you're unsure of I'm unsure of, some intruders in the first pic imo. The ones you think are ok look good to me. Wait for a TI though! Was going to reply to you on the lib thread but can't for the life of me figure out how to reply to multiple quotes and didn't want to continually post individual replies if anyone cares to enlighten me?

Hey Thanks WicklowWoodkern! Yeah I will wait for a TI...
Yeah the dome caps in the first pic are the intruders I think...
Seen your haul on the lib thread too good effort mate... we spent about 1.5hrs looking this morning found about 30caps left a load out there as just babies...
things in the SE still quite mild but intend to go back to the field next weekend to collect the hopefully grown up smaller ones we left. Need to find a field with more abundant supply. slim pickings so far... especially when others are posting carrier bags of them.
I don't need that many... well you never know...

One or two to me look like they could be dung roundheads, a look at the gills would be easier to guess... The others look like a species I do not know but have seen in the fields around the libs, I've picked one or two because of the similarities, then immediately realised they weren't because they were more limp and crumbly. No pellicle or blue bruising etc.

The one on the far right and far left of the first picture look the most likely.
All of the ones in the second picture look good, but I'm not 100% on the one furthest to the right that has part of its stem missing.

I agree with the outer ones in the first pic if someone could confirm. I've been relying on dew, it's such a dry October. Sometimes I find nothing in an hour and others they're practically waving at me, inviting me over, it all depends really haha. I feel we've a while yet.
